I use the perlite & watery/peroxide method as mentioned above, except I leave mine on a table by a window to germinate. Once the green leaf is about 1" (sometimes more), I transplant them into a good growing medium in pots until they are several months old. At this point they will be able to be transplanted into the ground.

In your pics above, you definitely have bad ones in the group. The very first pic of seed by itself in your hand is a bad seed, as well as quite a number of them on the paper towel (white mold on them). For whatever reason, this method does not work well for daylily seeds and I do not recommend it.

Also, the seeds you received MAY not be any good. I say this because my mother, trying to get me flowers that she knew I liked, bought me many packs of DL seed from eBay last year. Some she paid quite a bit for based off the fancy pictures. On arrival, many of them were cracked to pieces, indicating they were overdried to begin with, some were soft and squishy, and some were t even daylily seeds at all! I'm not saying the ones you have fall into any of these categories, just saying be aware when buying.

Lots of people on NGA have extra seed that they will share, trade, or sell to cover postage. If you are looking for specific genetics, just ask...the worst that will happen is the sound of crickets, lol. This forum has some of the best people on it though that usually go over and above to help the "newbies" out.

Hope this helps!
